This is a picture of Poli Poli Park. Because Haleakala extends some 10,000 feet above sea level, many different climate zones are supported on the volcano slopes. Poli Poli has rolling grass slopes covered with long needled pine trees. Cool mist rolls in during the afternoons, vaguely reminiscent of Northern California. There is a one lane road leading up to Poli Poli and, at some point, there are two signs that say "Danger, flash floods" and "4 wheel drive required". Having just seen a flat bed tow truck going down the road with an unsuccessful visitor, we turned around at this point, missing the rest of the wonders of Poli Poli. Oh yeah, sorry about the rhyme (Rolley Poli Poli), I couldn't resist.
